Search hotels in Caltagirone

Beautiful city in the middle of Sicily. A stay of 1 day and 1 night is enough. The most beautiful is the Scalinata di Santa Maria del Monte. Very impressive! At the top of this enormous staircase, on the right, you will find the parish church Maria SS. del Monte. Climb all the way to the top of the church tower and you will be rewarded with wonderful views of Caltagirone and the surrounding area.

I planned our visit to Caltagirone because I love Italian ceramics. Overall, I was disappointed in the area where the touristic attractions are concentrated because we never found a lively piazza or busy street of shops and restaurants like so many other places we visited. Granted, it was a Sunday evening and the area is small — it took us about 15 minutes to walk from our hotel near the famous steps to the Museum of Ceramics. The scattered ceramic shops seemed to have the same wares we saw in many other towns/cities around Sicily. In a do-over, I would stop by for an afternoon at the museum (we found the artifacts interesting despite very little signage in English) but not stay over. That said, we had a good dinner at a restaurant near the steps called ninebistrot, where it felt like we were eating in a cave because the medieval architecture is exposed; the view from the bridge near the Diocesian museum was a charming surprise; and you could have a good time wandering around looking at churches. We were also happy with our hotel, Trio d’Archi, which had a hospitable proprietor, extensive breakfast offerings if you sign up for the meal, and actually free parking about a block away that actually had available spaces when we arrived around 6pm on a mid-September Sunday.

The most beautiful city of Sicily mainly thanks to the ubiquitous ceramics in public spaces, balconies, ceramic workshops and shops. We recommend the restaurant Floriano, where we had a very good meal in a pleasant environment and at a reasonable price.

Nice friendly town loved the small shops and food available.our place was ok and we cooked had a fridge toas5er but could not find capdi for the coffee maker in supermarket or small shops.it is not a place to travel by public transportation on a Sunday.the host dropped us at bus station at 10 and no bus until 4.30we paid 5 euros to drop us.we like the town.

Caltagirone is a nice city, having friendly people around and very helpful. Lots of restaurants offering good food with moderate prices. A city rich in history, offering beautiful views from its highest points. Also it offers a roads connection to other cities like Catania on one side and Gela on the other.

Pottery shops and special stair case were wonderful. Another hill town with a rich heritage in Sicily. We found a good modern resturant. Some interesting public art. Defiantly need good legs to get the most out of it.
